<!-- What is LIRC -->
<A NAME="top"></A>
<HR WIDTH="70%">
<H1 ALIGN="CENTER">What is LIRC ?</H1>
<HR WIDTH="50%"><BR>
<P>
LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send
infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used
remote controls.
</P>
<p>
Recent linux kernels makes it possible to use some IR remote
controls as regular input devices. Sometimes this makes
LIRC redundant. However, LIRC offers more flexibility and
functionality and is still the right tool in a lot of
scenarios.
</p>
<P>
The most important part of LIRC is the lircd daemon which
decodes IR signals received by the device drivers and
provides the information on a socket. It also accepts
commands for IR signals to be sent if the hardware
supports this.
</P>
<P>
The user space applications allows you to control your
computer with your remote control. You can send X11 events
to applications, start programs and much more on just one
button press. The possible applications are obvious:
Infra-red mouse, remote control for your TV tuner card or
CD-ROM, shutdown by remote, program your VCR and/or
satellite tuner with your computer, etc.
Using lirc on Raspberry Pie is quite popular these days.
</P>
<!-- Supported remote controls -->
<HR WIDTH="70%">
<H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Supported remote controls</H1>
<HR WIDTH="50%"><BR>
</P>
There are some config files for remote controls at
<a href="http://lirc-remotes.sourceforge.net/remotes-table.html">
the remotes database</a>.
This is about 2500 devices and counting. These devices
should work with the general drivers or (if it lacks timing
info) the driver used to create them.</p>
<P>
If you can't find your remote control here it does not
mean that your remote control is not supported. It's just that
there is no config file for it yet. All remote controls that are
supported by learning remote controls i.e., almost any,
should also work with LIRC.</p>
<!-- Supported capture devices -->
<HR WIDTH="70%">
<H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Supported capture devices</H1>
<p>
Besides a remote control you also need a capture device
to read the data from the remote. Former versions focussed on
home-brew capture hardware connected to the serial or parallel
port. Descriptions how to build such hardware can be found here.
Current versions of LIRC also support a broad range of other
hardware. As a starter, you can use the kernel built-in support
for many USB dongles and similar. Besides this LIRC supports
basically any conceivable way to capture your data including
serial devices, parallel ports, sound input etc. You can see
the complete list in the left pane.

<em>Got it!</em> I have the specs for the Hauppauge
remote control. :-) Many thanks go to <A HREF="http://vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk/bt848/">
Roger Hardiman</A> for providing the necessary
information and Peter Stevenson for finding Roger.

Recently a Tekram IRMate IR-210 fell
into my hands. I managed to send IR signals to my
satellite receiver using my linux box within 1 hour!
Receiving of IR signals was also possible but has some
limitations.
You can see this as a motivation for you to work on support
for IrDA compliant hardware as I don't have the time
to do it myself.

TV tuner cards get more and more popular these days. There is
already very good Linux support for cards with
<A HREF="http://www.thp.uni-koeln.de/~rjkm/linux/bttv.html">
bt848 chips</A>. Some of these cards come with a remote
control. If you have some information how these remote
controls are working, contact
<A HREF="mailto:lirc@bartelmus.de">me</A>.
I hope that there will be
support for these devices in LIRC some day. (The remote
controls from <A HREF="http://www.animax.no/">AnimaX</A> are
already supported.)

I plan to add support for
<A HREF="http://www.irda.org">IrDA</A>
compliant hardware with CIR support to LIRC in cooperation
with the guys from
<A HREF="http://www.cs.uit.no/linux-irda/">
The Linux-IrDA Project</A>.
<A HREF="http://www.pluto.dti.ne.jp/~thiguchi/irda/">
Takahide Higuchi</A> has already agreed to write
an appropriate device driver.
But development will not start before spring 1999.
So if you don't want to wait that long, have
some experience in writing device drivers and also have
the time to do it, contact <A
HREF="mailto:lirc@bartelmus.de">me</A>!!!
